Our Minds May Be Limited In Its Vision, But It Is Limitless In Its Ability To Amaze

Oftentimes, we envy the happy lives of others, simply because we focus only on that part of their lives and neglect the rest.

A human's optical field of view is approximately 120 degrees wide. As with the mind's perspective, the focus has also its limits. Whenever we focus our attention on one certain matter, many other things very often get blurred out.



This is the main reason whenever something bad arises, you tend to put the blame on yourself for having bad luck, and questioning yourself why you did what you did to screw things up. This is also the very reason whenever something good befalls somebody else and not you, you tend to think that this other person is living an overall better life than you do. Just as how the focus of a person's eyes determines the objects he or she sees, the focus of your own emotional state will determine how you feel at any given point in time. Just as how the focus of a person's eyes determines the objects he or she sees, the focus of your own emotional state will determine how you feel at any given point in time.

As a matter of fact, however smooth sailing someone may seem to be living right now, there almost always lies a certain unhappiness beneath that façade; and no matter how bad a state one person may be in right now, there certainly still lies some beautiful things we very often ignore in the heat of the moment. There are many positive, beautiful things that are surrounding us in our lives at all times; they haven't really been missing in our lives during these bad times, we just instinctively treat them as transparent and non-existent. 

 There will be no shortage of negative things in Life but the more you avoid them, the more they will come back to haunt you. There will also be no shortage of the positive, and happy things in Life but the more you ignore them, the more they will not appear in front of you. The most important lesson in Life you ought to learn, is not to get busy getting upset by the bad things that have already been befallen on you, but to practice being happy with the good ones in Life.

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your very self.

Start From The Things Where You Can Do Best, To Make The World A Better Place

To be able to make a contribution to mankind or the society can also be a kind of blessing. Take a step back and look at the Life most of us are going through thus far. In order to minimize inconvenience in our lives and the lives of others, most of us practice self-restraint. That is how the majority of us try to do in order to get us to where we are at various stages of Life. In the face of growing old and moving toward the livelihood of being an old man, the majority of us, at least, can perhaps attempt to shift away from our current standpoint or way of thinking of restraining ourselves towards something that speaks "do-what-you-love-to-do" as the focal point in living. One of the practical way of doing this is to transform that "who-am-I-doing-it-for" or "this-is-for-the-good-of-the-community" that forms the basis of our survival in today's context by adding in the element of "doing-what you-love-to-do". I deeply believe that

Courageous People Will Make Themselves Look Normal. 5 Signs Of "Courage" Based on Alfred Adler's Psychology Theory

Image
Those who lack courage, will resort to all means possible to look 'special'; those who possess courage, will blend themselves in as being 'normal'. Courage is the feeling in which you experience strength and you are of worth, as well as the belief that you can take on Life's problems. Life's going will never be all rosy and smooth-sailing, it may sometimes be due to work, interpersonal relationships, love relationships, or parent-child relationships; or it may also be due to a series of obstacles you faced along the way. Whenever we encounter difficulties, all of us are given two choices: one is to face it head on, and another is to run away from it. The latter of which is termed is Superiority Complex and Inferiority Complex. Let's take a look the 5 signs of "Courage" as advocated through Alfred Adler's school of thoughts.  The feeling that you are capable and worthy of achievements The crux of the problem is that avoiding problems
